They have a versatile longer length cut and blades strong enough to trim and cut multiple layers of fabric effortlessly. The longer cut is ideal for cutting out patterns and trimming seams. Gingher's precision ground knife edge cuts flawlessly all the way to the points. We also like that they have both a right and left handed pair available
The clip opens wide to hold layers of fabric and its base is flat for easy feeding to the presser foot. The seam allowance markings of 1/4" (7mm) and 1/2" (12 mm) are an amazing feature and their clear color style makes it easy to see your work (also super easy to find when dropped!).
If you're machine sewing or embroidering you generally won't use hand needles, however, some things can't be finished on a sewing machine -- attaching a shank button for instance -- So having hand sewing needles is always a good idea.
While there are many brands of needles, with varying lengths, thickness, eye size, and point style -- we are fond of variety packs due to the multiple sizes. We like the Sōho Hand Sewing Needles in particular.
These Japanese hand sewing needles come in various lengths and widths -- it's perfect for anyone who wants to try almost all sizes of needles. Thanks to the handy needle case you can store them safely and it includes a small magnet sheet for collecting needles.
